Castmetal Advanced Services uses the lost foam casting process to produce high-quality metal parts. This innovative method creates parts with a high level of detail and a smooth finish. As a result, it offers significant advantages: reduced costs, faster production times and more environmentally friendly production.
How does it work?
The lost foam casting process is a metal casting technique that uses a foam model of the part to be produced. The model is covered with a ceramic coating, which acts as a mould. Once the metal has been cast, the foam collapses and is replaced by the metal, creating the final part.
This method ensures a high degree of precision in shape and detail, as well as a smooth, even finish.
What are the advantages of the lost foam casting process?
- It produces complex parts with a high level of detail, such as fine patterns, ribs and grooves.
- In addition, it offers economic advantages thanks to low-cost moulds.
- Production is faster than traditional metal casting methods.
- Finally, the process is more environmentally-friendly: Less waste is generated during production and a large proportion of the solid waste produced can be recycled.
Lost foam casting process at Castmetal Advanced Services
At Castmetal Advanced Services, we use the lost foam casting process to produce large parts, ranging in size from a few metres to dozens of metres.
This innovative technique produces extremely complex parts with a high level of detail, while offering economic and environmental advantage. As a result, it is increasingly being adopted in the metalworking industry for a wide range of demanding applications.
